Blue

While light blue is a serene and calming color, which reflects the color of the sky and the ocean, dark and deep blues are somewhat sumptuous and can add a feeling of wealth and quality. Bright and electric blues are highly dynamic and can make a strong statement, however, you need to make sure not to overuse them, as you might end up creating a rather cold atmosphere.
